My puppy has lumps. Biopsy sent. Results due Christmas Eve.

Benign!!!

@aria As requested, with much wiggling and squirming..with added bacon to bribe to stay still long enough.

I got the job I wanted. Payrise, away from the team that made my life hell, and something that I'm excited about. That hasn't happened for a long time...

Apparently wombats in fire effected areas are not only allowing other animals to take shelter in their deep, fire-resistant burrows but are actively herding fleeing animals into them.

Forgot to edit: I got caught by fake news here. They are not herding them in. But they are, as grouchy, preferring to be alone, creatures, accepting that others might be able to come in, if they stay over there and don't talk to them.

I made a thing. A handbag, made from the fabric of a skirt my sister loved but couldn't wear any more so...

Meet our puppy club. Harley, Beelsa and Honey.

Instead of flaming depression, I'm going to say I love my crew for helping me not do anything stupid and harmful, and holding me up through one of the worst crashes I've had for a while!

MU* people rock.

A note sounds...

Swimming in from the blackness of space, there is a world, resting on the back of four elephants, riding on a turtle...

A place where magic exists, where DEATH is an anthropomorphic personification and where a librarian can be an orangutan.

Welcome to Discworld MUSH!

Set in Ankh-Morpork, we have set our roleplaying game in a place where belief is real, where barbarian heroes drink alongside wizards, where witches use headology to fight their battles, and where you are welcome to write your own story. We know that the biggest fear of playing on this game is letting Terry Pratchett's writing down but in the words of the patrician, Vetinari, "We play and are played and the best we can hope for is to do it with style."

In our universe, down the trousers of time from Terry’s, you can be a Lord or a Lady, a thief or a wizard, a troll or a dwarf. You can play political games, spend time in the Mended Drum, or brawl in the Shades. Be part of a Guild, or be unguilded - this is a world where any story can be told. Be a politician or a beggar.

We are now opening for beta testing, with limited places to match our limited staffing capacity!

Can I offer a boxer puppy as competition? Fabulous dogs. High energy, protective of their people. Intelligent. Quick to learn..

My step-dad died earlier in the year, and it has been a pretty shitty one when it comes to family stuff. But yesterday my mother gave me his desk. My daughter and I smothered it in oil today and cleaned it, and made the drawers move...

Hey, a colleague of mine has a questionnaire for gamers and has until tonight to finish her data collection. Consider helping her out?

@Pondscum said in Housing UK?:

Best idea would be to go through a regulated site. https://www.spareroom.co.uk/ is one of the better ones here in the UK and very widely used by students and professionals alike. Good luck.

Yeah, we're doing that too... But sometimes all routes to an end are useful.

@Macha That would be great

Hello!

I wondered if anyone here lives close to Huntingdon UK and knows someone who might be able to rent a room to a young man?

Slim chance but...

If so, email me on mail@jin-shei.co.uk

@macha Is there a local charity for vet bills? Sometimes there are also pay over time schemes? I'm sure you thought of those but... (also only checking this board when I remember it exists, which is not often because brain overheated and tired - if more often required, hit me on discord)

@macha very belatedly... I read this as though it was a human and was slightly puzzled. I hope your bestest boy is better.

Wasn't here for whatever went down but jinshei#7985

RIP Dennis Waterman (Minder, The Sweeney and New Tricks)

@silverfox said in The Work Thread:

I just realized that it is probably not a sign of a healthy work environment to obsessively check the jobs board to see who has officially resigned for next year. Like, we all KNOW who is quitting, but when will they do the formal paperwork for HR to post the opening.

That sounds like a university.

We're refreshing email to see who is off sick with COVID, now we aren't wearing masks with students who are caring for COVID patients. 50% and counting...

In unrelated news I applied for a job...
